Should I Leave My First “Real” Job or Play It Safe? 🤔

I landed my first "real" job as an accounting assistant right after finishing community college with a business degree. Three years in, and honestly, it’s just... fine. No drama, but also no real connections or excitement. The pay? Well, after some late-night job hunting, I realized I’m making about $5k less than the average for my role in this city. My reviews are always positive, but the raises are predictable—just enough to keep me underpaid. I’m not obsessed with money, but a little extra would help with my student loans and, you know, life. The thing is, I’m terrified to leave. What if I end up somewhere with nightmare coworkers or a toxic boss? But staying just because I’m scared feels like settling. Is anyone else stuck in this weird limbo? I’d love to hear how others handled this crossroads. Should I risk it, or is comfort worth more than a few extra bucks? 😅 #CareerDilemma #WorkplaceAdvice #JobSearch #JobCareer
